without some serious hacks.

The 16v Coupe I referred to was a FWD car; here in the U.S., they were all
quattros but in other parts of the world, they could be had either way.

To my knowledge, there were no 1.8L 16v 80 quattros made but there was a 1.8L
8v quattro made in small numbers in '84 and '85 ... I know because it came
with a 4.45:1 final drive and ultra-short gears, and at one time I was
convinced I needed to have one for a racecar that I was building.  They're not
very common, either.
